You can leave large bags on the shelves between the cars. Not sure about a bike though.

I just called the KORAIL Client Service Center (1544-7788 extension 7) and asked if it's permissible to take a bicycle on the KTX. The answer is, "I'm sorry. We do not permit bicycles on the KTX."

For carrying "a really large bag," here is the information for the porter service.

It costs about 15,000 to ship it, if you know someone in Busan, have it shipped to them 2 days before you leave.

Or try the other trains, or take the bus.
